Our textile conservation team have dedicated over 1,000 hours to the conservation of the Bacton Altar Cloth - an incredibly rare survival of Elizabethan dress thought to have belonged to Elizabeth I herself. Discover more about the process in this film, including the moment that our conservators carefully removed the backing of the cloth, revealing colours that hadn't seen daylight in centuries.
